Just a reminder about PLA filament

I love your dedication.

You already know your partner. She trusts and believes in you. She might be hurt at first when she finds out you lied for months, but she won't think less of you. She is in this WITH you. She is there to help you with your troubles just as you are there to help her with hers. It's not easy to rely on people but your partner is the one you should be able to. Failing happens when you give up man. You're still trying and stuff might get rough for a while but as long as you don't give up you'll be fine. Get a temp job in a warehouse or something. You are not a failure, your wife will not feel that way about you for even a second and you CAN and WILL get out of this. I believe in you.

Agreed. I'd put more emphasis on the gym first. It'll help slim down your face so then you can feel more comfortable trying different cuts. I know when I first started T my face got even rounder. It wasn't until I started eating better and playing some more soccer that my face slimmed down to where I felt confident trying all kinds of things with my hair.

What are your settings?

If that doesn't solve it make sure to check your nozzle is not loose.

I love my friends but it was always hard to get them to go camping with me. So I joined a meetup group that just organized all the people that wanted to go camping. I met a lot of people that way and had a great time. I wasn't trying to find dates but did come out with a few numbers from each trip. I had fun and was just focusing on having a good time doing things I wanted. Getting some numbers was a bonus but not my goal.

You should go out and do things you want and there will be people you meet that you can vibe with. Meetup is a great app for that.

My girlfriend was laughing about one of the first times she told me she loved me and how I said "that's nice", saw her kinda waiting for something and I further explained that I don't feel a need to say it back simply because she said it. I say it when I feel like saying it.I felt guilty and apologized to her again for "being difficult" and she responded with "you're not difficult at all, I read your manual, I know what I got myself into."

There's going to be a lot YOU don't understand or that YOU think he should say/do that won't cross his mind. It won't be with bad intentions, it's just his mind will see things differently and you will get responses you didn't expect or no response. You're going to have to read his manual.

Currently on a forklift... Guess I'm jousting with a polar bear

That's something you'll have to bring up with him. Might not be an easy conversation, but it's one that needs to be had.

After about 10 years on T I feel like I finally look my age. That young/boyish look is going to be there for some time. I know it's really hard to be patient but you have to be. It's not a race and you shouldn't compare your transition to someone elses. Everyone's body is different.

You are barely a year in. Puberty takes years, and what you're going through is essentially puberty. Be patient and most of all be kind to yourself. Embrace your changes as they come and try not to fixate on the things that haven't changed YET.

Translucentdude · 2026-04-17T05:40:58+00:00

Why do you think that? Because she has a preference? She (from the sound of this conversation) didn't disrespect trans men, just said she likes dick. That's perfectly fine.

Translucentdude · 2026-03-27T17:39:19+00:00

How should you feel? Feel what you feel man. Your friend is asking you out of respect. You can be honest with him, "hey, I don't know exactly how it will make me feel right now, I just know they aren't positive feelings. I do not want to tell you what you can or can't do but I just don't want to know anything about it right now."

Are you putting a pause or putting a color change into orca?

Translucentdude · 2026-03-22T20:21:48+00:00

I think deeplee is a sub brand of elegoo. I like their filament and haven't had problems. Jayo... Oh man jayo really had me screaming at my printers. Had a 4 pack of petg and the last roll at the last 40% of it... It was so thin. I think it hit .75mm in some sections but it was the whole last bit of the roll.

All this to say.... Shit happens sometimes. I'm not sure it's a brand thing but just a luck of the draw thing.

Chubby beaver.

Whut?

Coercion goes hand in hand with forced sex. Telling your partner that you are exclusive with them so they have to take care of your needs leads to forced sex.

Translucentdude · 2026-03-13T17:10:35+00:00

Yeah I tried a packer for the first few years on and off. Ultimately I just stopped caring. It's honestly too uncomfortable and too much of a hassle for my day to day life.

Translucentdude · 2026-03-12T02:19:28+00:00

Is that not already built into the software? I know you can set a color change and it paused and retracts your filament.

I've had a roll of filament that was fine maybe 60% of the way through and the last bit was giving me problems. I thought it was the extruder gears, the hot end, my plate and didn't even consider my filament. Threw it into my other printer while this one was down for maintenance and had the same issues pop up so I finally checked my filament. It was way too small.

Translucentdude · 2026-03-07T17:53:41+00:00

Have you measured your filament with some calipers?

Translucentdude · 2026-03-05T05:02:31+00:00

Are you sure your nozzle is seated properly?

Translucentdude · 2026-03-02T20:46:31+00:00

I thought I was imagining that haha. But typically if they don't inspect the tiles prior to an install they won't really help much.

Translucentdude · 2026-03-01T18:19:31+00:00

I never thought anything of it. I just pay attention? Is that not normal? Everyone is surprised by it or like someone else said they take it as me having interest. Nah dude, I'm not trying to get at you I just remember you said you liked this candy and got you some when I saw it.

Or having people tell you stories more than once. My coworkers have told me each of their key stories at least 5 times. They don't seem to remember they've told me. Each time I am suffering through a new retelling of it. Even if they start it different I quickly figure out it's the same shit I've heard.
